Meaning of "the Fair"
editDoes "the Fair" mean "the just" or "the good looking" when applied to him? Could this be clarified in the article, please? /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 18:06, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Donald's Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article says this: "Some physical characteristic presumably gave rise to the Gaelic name Domnall Bán, meaning Donald the Fair, by which he was commonly known". In modern Scottish Gaelic bàn can mean: "white"; or "fair-haired"; or "pale". So I think his name must have had something to do with a light complexion or light-coloured hair.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 07:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
English or Scots-English
edit"Donald was chosen as king and expelled the English from the court". This peropd of history is tricky. The Anglic Lowlanders were 'English' to the Gaaelic speaking Scots (and probaly 'English to themselves too). The words 'English' and 'Scots' in this period refer as much to the language spoken as/or any nationality. Not only that, both England and Scotland were more collections of kingdoms than two distinct nation states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.12.183 (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Successor

- It was Duncan II. Surtsicna (talk) 10:42, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Ancestry
editI have an idea to add his ancestry by using these sources:

- What other wikipedia's do is not relevant to what the rules are here on English wikipedia. In general, we are not a genealogical source - we should not aim to present genealogical information. See WP:NOTGENEALOGY. And unsourced information is also not acceptable - please do not introduce unsourced information. And you shouldn't combine unrelated sources to produce family trees - if the sources for a subject's life do not give a four or five generation ancestral tree, then per WP:UNDUE and WP:OR, we should not combine unrelated sources to produce information that sources about a subject do not consider important about that subject. For Donald - we should report what the high quality sources provide about his ancestry. The sources provided are not sources ABOUT David, they are genealogical reference books. That leaves aside the issue of using outdated sources like Burke's A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Peerage and Baronetage, the Privy Council, Knightage, and Companionage or strictly genealogical sources like Weis (also - which edition of Weis is being referenced - there are 8 of them, after all.) Also - per this discussion, FMG (Foundation for Medieval Genealogy) is not a reliable source. Ealdgyth (talk) 12:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
